I doubt your claims here.
Fedora already has a perfectly good rolling release. It's called
Rawhide, and I run it on my laptop. I'd be nuts to run it on a
server.
I run Debian Testing (a rolling "release") on my desktop machine. I
wouldn't recommend it for servers either, but I find it roughly as
stable as Fedora releases. Why? Because the equivalent of Rawhide in
Debian is Debian Unstable and packages have to be critical-bug-free in
Unstable for a time before they graduate to Testing.
If there was a rolling repository like this sitting between Rawhide and
Fedora N+1 then I'd most certainly use it. As it is, I'm quite happy
using Fedora 16 on my laptop until 17 is released.
